Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Meet Bob.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
He's a four time tire rotation champion. When he was
a baby, his first words were automatic transmission fluid. Bob's
so cool he has engine coolant running through his veins.
And then there's Kyle, also known as Premium Unleaded. Legend
has it that Kyle can change your oil with his toes,
and that he can tell your tires ill pressure just

(00:24):
by how you're walking out. He's Bob, He's Kyle, and
every Saturday morning they morphed together to form the greatest
superhero known to man. Mister Mechanic check engine lights don't
stand a chance. This is the Mister Mechanic Show on
eleven ten.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Kfab, good Saturday morning to you. This is a Mister
Mechanic Show. Five five, eight, eleven ten is the numbers
to get in. We've got some open lines for you.
This is an interactive calling show where you have some
questions and we'll have some answers. We do live. We
were a little bit were we were what was it

(01:05):
last week? We were off a little bit. I mean
you had to have a little bit of big vacation time, Kyle. Yeah. Yeah,
But any particular old cards you've seen out were in
the neck of woods that you were at that you
don't see here anymore because they've rusted away.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
You know, a lot of Ford Rangers. Surprisingly, there was
a lot of square body first series eighties, early nineties
Ford Rangers stood out like it was about the third one.
I'm like, wait a second, good, there's no way that
thing should be.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
He didn't see anything unusual like a pacer.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Or a surprisingly not.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
No, huh, well maybe it was maybe it was that
not their time to get out.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
No, I mean the weather was great. It was what
sixty five degrees seventy degrees?

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, yeah, can't beat that. Well, if you go to
a big time to drive an old car, yeah, if
you go to a state that doesn't have all the
salt in them, then those cars survive.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
But you know, it is kind of nice because there
are some cards where are just happy goes away.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
There was a ton of old subar Rus, believe it
or not, nineties eighties super rus.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Yeah, people in Colorado love those things.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, they do those an Audis. They like Audi's God,
I don't know, I'll take the SuPAR U.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
That's fine.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Oh every day.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yeah, like every parking lot you go to is just
oil spots everywhere like this. There's super roots around, follow
the tracks.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
You know. They're a pretty good car overall. It's just
that they do like certain years, they just like their
head gaskets replaced.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah, I mean now they mean they've pretty much gone
away from that. I mean they don't have that problem.
They have to. They still have problems, but just not that.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, they all have problems. Every one of them does.
So everyone, not of everyone of super Us, but everyone
car manufacturer has problems.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
So it's always something.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yep, all right, We're gonna go over to zal Zal's
got a twenty eighteen Chrysler Pacific. Yeah, what's going on today, guys?

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Today? Beautiful day.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
Well, I've had twenty eighteen PACIFICA. I took it into
a dealership name will remain anonymous on Monday. I want
to I have an oil change, and I had, of
course the free multipoint inspection. They told me that my
front breaks were at eight, and then the gentleman told
me the rear brakes were at four. So they said

(03:22):
that they recommend a break job when it gets below four.
He said three. So I left. I said, I'll take
a chance. On the four for a little while. Anyway,
A needless to say, I went back yesterday and I
was having some work done and they told me when
they did their inspection that the rear brakes were at

(03:44):
two millimeters, And so I asked them, well, I haven't
driven this car five miles since the last since the
multi point, what's going on? He said, the guy who
did the first one on Monday was not his experience,
was not a master and this time now I'm master
tech doing the inspection. And he said he thought you

(04:06):
could turn the roaders or something like that.

Speaker 6 (04:08):
Sure, So is that a line?

Speaker 5 (04:10):
I mean, how do I go from four millimeters to
to in a five day period without really driving the car?

Speaker 4 (04:17):
You don't, You don't.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
It's it's kind of an approximate.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
You know.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
When we kind of check brakes, we kind of say,
you know, let's just say you got seventy percent left
on the brakes or something along that line, you know,
and you've got a ways to go, or you've got
ten percent or you need it now. We kind of
use a percentage deal. You know, a lot of they've
got gauges out there that you can stick in between
each one and say okay, two six for whatever they are.

(04:45):
So I agree that the fact that it's just a
close approximate four is getting close, And it really kind
of depends on the driving. I mean, if you just
do a lot of highway driving, four might last year
another five ten thousand miles. If you do a lot
of intown driving, that that four is getting pretty close.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
The same there is there always a huge discrepancy between
the front discs like mine, we're at eight and then
the back or either four or two?

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Whatever?

Speaker 5 (05:13):
Is that unusual or what's the deal with rear breaks?

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yes and no. So back in the day, if you
remember stomping on the brakes back in the day that
the front end would dip down, it's because the front
did sixty percent of your breaking and the backs do forty. Okay,
well they flop that around. Now the backs do a
lot of sixty percent and the fronts do forty because
they want to slow you down without the dip. And

(05:39):
then some cars do fifty to fifty. Some do have
a various percentages depending on they want the car to
kind of all slow down together instead of going dipping
hard every time you stop on the brakes. So it's
not uncommon for let's just pick out a Chevy Silverado.
It's not uncommon for those to go bad or need

(06:02):
breaks in the rear before the fronts. The fronts a
lot of times will get one hundred thousand miles, where
the rear breaks will get forty.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
And it's one more quick.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
How does the store determine the diagnostic charges for work.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Well, there's predetermined ones. It really kind of depends on
the time spent of what you've got to do. You know,
if you've got to get into let let's just pick
one out and say you got to get a check
engine light. You get your scan tool out, which is
you know, anywhere from five to ten thousand dollars depending
on what you have, and then you've got to spend

(06:42):
time on that code. The code, like Kyle always says,
the code will get you in the ballpark. You've got
to Now you've got to diagnose it down to what
base you're on. So it's given you a general code,
and then you've got to go the technician's got to
go and spend time to get that done, and that
that time is lost. That's time you never get back

(07:06):
in order just to figure out what's going on. No
different when you go to the doctor and you get
a two or three hundred dollar bill and you know
for fifteen minutes, most of those guys technicians are spending hour,
you know, looking at that particular times you're time for
time is probably cheap now that I think about it.

(07:28):
And other things are predetermined. Say you're evacuating recharging in
air conditioning, that is going to be a preset time
because we know what it takes to do that and
recharge the air conditioner. So those everything varies good a
little bit.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
So best practices would be they would tell you upfront
what's going on before anything, before you sign a ticker
to do work.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, yeah, I mean you've got to know a little
bit of where you're at as far as the time.
Depending on the time that you describe and say, hey,
i've got this problem and this problem. A lot of
shops will charge you for multiple problems. Let's just say
you come in and instead of one charge, you got
a problem with the check engine light, you've got an
ABS light, and then you've got a problem with the
tail lights in the back. Now you've just added three together.

(08:14):
So now you're you're you're you're deep into three hundred
and fifty dollars, just trying to diagnose that time just
because it's you don't know what you're getting into.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Okay, yeah, but last one, I do appreciate your time.
Are more I'm used to going into a restaurant paying
with a credit card and then they throw on a
charge from using a credit card. Are more and more
dealerships and car places doing that?

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Also, it's coming. It's coming, the credit card deal, the
three percent charge, right, it's coming. I see body shops
doing it. I see I see parts houses, I see
dealers doing it. Yeah, everybody's doing it. It's doing it.
We're not there yet, but we've been thinking about it.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
Hey, we really appreciate your time. You gentlemen, have a
great weekend.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
You as well appreciate the call. All right, we're gonna
take quick breaking mister mechanics show will be back in
a minute.

Speaker 8 (09:09):
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm mister my Canack Show. Bresident's Alive
in studio performance.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
From Kobe t.

Speaker 8 (09:18):
We got Mustags and Mercedes and many vans back full
of babies, and we got hummers, yeah, we new and
fancy beamers.

Speaker 9 (09:29):
Uh huh.

Speaker 8 (09:30):
For guys to make up for a little time.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
And those electric cars thesure.

Speaker 8 (09:37):
New sound bees all sounds like a can opener.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
I love these calls.

Speaker 8 (09:51):
God, Hell, comeou, half car, half drug. I know where
you're going with us.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
The front is where we save. The back is where
we find Ford.

Speaker 8 (10:01):
Pintos, a p oos, Volkswagen beetles for guys who wear
a dress. The I wanna wear a dress and a
GPS tells my wife that sheese.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Long where it says there's a road here.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
I love these calls.

Speaker 10 (10:21):
I love my God so much I don't want to
marry her.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
I love these calls. I love these cars. I like
to raise, I like to rask.

Speaker 8 (10:33):
And when I see a crimbling on the side of
the road, it puts a big smile on my face.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
I love these call this.

Speaker 8 (10:44):
Car even if they don't start.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
I love these cars.

Speaker 11 (10:57):
You all drive.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
See now you're here.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Brian's got a nine total? Yours, Brian? What's up?

Speaker 9 (11:06):
Hello?

Speaker 12 (11:07):
Yes, Brian here two thousand and nine. Toyota you are
so just a couple of questions here, I'll do the
first one. The first one should be easy, so I
have a It doesn't tell me which tire pressure is
having a problem. But I have a tire pressure indicator
that comes on that tells me that one of my

(11:28):
pressures is low. I've had them tested several times. They
said that it's probably just a bad sensor. Like, is
that easy to detect if it's just a sensor that's
bad as opposed to the tire.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, if you got the right equipment, you can. You can.
We've got a tool that goes around each all four
wheels and checks to see where it's at and checks
battery life in It tells you if it's kind of
where it's at or if it doesn't read at all. Okay,
And you can replace just the one and say, well,
here's another one that batteries life's even twenty five percent.

(12:01):
So here's your next one. So do you want to
do two now or one? Then make sure you always
whatever the pressure is on the door, make sure you
bump the air pressure and the tire about two pounds.

Speaker 12 (12:12):
Above that, about two pounds above that.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, that allows for fluctuation.

Speaker 12 (12:18):
The light comes on every time I start the car.
Right now, I'm like, the pressure is fine, it's just
one of the indicators is bad. Right, So okay, all right,
So thank you for that, And then my second question is,
now this is total just kind of more of my feeling.
I've had this car for like nine years. It's a

(12:39):
sixteen year old car. I got one hundred and seventy
thousand miles on it. Love the car, absolutely, not gonna
trade it until get rid of it, until the day
that it absolutely dies. But over the last few weeks,
I've just noticed that it seems like I'm getting less
gas mileage than I have the previous eight years they've

(13:00):
owned the car. Are there things that we could look
at on why all of a sudden over the last
few weeks, it just seems as though the gas pile
it is, it's burning more gas than that I am
used to. It's not leaking.

Speaker 7 (13:16):
I don't sure anything weird.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Well, believe it or not. There's probably a couple of
quick things. One would be whenever you change the spark plugs.
The last second one would be maybe cleaning the mass
air flow sensor, and the third one would be where
you get in gas. Well, I've heard a lot of

(13:39):
things a lot of different places, and I'll tell you
that and this is not me because I get I
get gas at a branded station, but a lot of
people would tell me driving through that that certain places
they don't get near as good as gas mileages, that
they if they buy something from a branded.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
Station, go to a branded station, Philip with premium some
non ethanol. Just fill it up with premium. See what
your gas, Maruch does before we take any parts off
the car.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yep.

Speaker 12 (14:08):
Yeah, so I probably work on doing the math myself, right,
fill it up to the top. Check the mileage between
Phillips and I. Kind of a self evaluation I have
on the mask yet.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah. Just divide your miles that you went into the
gallons you put in. It's your gets your total.

Speaker 7 (14:26):
So okay, all right, that's it.

Speaker 12 (14:29):
Love you guys, Thank you. I appreciate you being here.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
You bet appreciate the call. All Right, We're gonna head
over to Terry. Terry's got O six Tahoe. Terry, what's
up today?

Speaker 6 (14:38):
Hey, guys?

Speaker 7 (14:39):
Love the show.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
Uh yeah, it's my daughter, a granddaughter's car and she
it was broke into a year ago and they used
the screwdriver in new ignition switch on the column. Okay,
well I replaced that, including the the security thing where

(15:00):
you got to take off the steering wheel and put
the whole thing in place potal mechanism. Sure, okay, I
got all that and replaced it, and now we learned
the when we learned the key to the car it, Uh,
it'll work a couple of times and then then like
the third or fourth time, it's like it's lost. It's

(15:22):
learned or lost lost it and we've got to relearn it.
And anyway, she's having a lot of trouble with that.
Now over the past year it's gotten worse, and I
was just wondering, do I need to replace that thing
again or is there a fix to that? Or is
it Do you understand what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
Where did you get this theft module from?

Speaker 7 (15:43):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (15:44):
Well that is probably going to be the key. We
got it from Amazon.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
Yeah, okay, that's your problem with these particular modules. We
only use GM. Okay, I mean even the quality aftermarkets
from the parts store have given us problems over the years. Okay,
it's going to be best to just get a good
one and be done with it.

Speaker 6 (16:08):
Dorman, would that be a good brand or not?

Speaker 4 (16:11):
I wouldn't use it when we're talking about a module, especially.

Speaker 6 (16:17):
Dealership, only the GM model and the GM one, And
it seems like it's nobody in Omaha has. Okay, they
gave me a number to call. I don't know where,
Orange City, California, and anyway, the dealer out there said
that the only one they would have would be a
Dorman brand. And I said, he says, you can get

(16:40):
that local, which I know I could get that at
NAPA or somewhere, but well, I got to get a
GM brand.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
That's not our that's not our first choice. But if
that's all you can get, and that's better than something
from Amazon, Okay, all.

Speaker 6 (16:54):
Right, Well I knew better when I ordered it, but
it got her by a year. I'll go the other
way and get it.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, you know, and that and that's that's part of
fixing cars sometimes, you know, you you solved the problem
and then all of a sudden, parts throw you into
left field. And I started looking somewhere else because you say, well,
it can't be that.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
I just thought, you know, yeah, yeah, Chaz. That's the
whole problem, is that ignition thing.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
It just doesn't know what you're doing.

Speaker 6 (17:20):
And that's okay, ye, all right, thank you sir.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
You bet appreciate it. Call Terry all right, we're going
to take a quick break for the Mister Mechanics Show.
If you're if you're on hold, hang on, We'll be
back to you as quick as I can. Jim's got
a two thousand and f two fifty. Jim, what's up today?

Speaker 9 (17:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (17:36):
I got the two thousand and two fifty. It's a
very good shape. It's got about one hundred and forty
thousand miles on it. It's got B ten the ten.
But of course those Fords can have a tendency of
blowing spark plugs. Now, it's never happened on that truck, yep.
But if that happens, how far can I safely drive
before I got to get it to a shop or

(17:58):
get something.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
Done with no spark plug in it?

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Yeah, depends how much money you want to spend.

Speaker 11 (18:04):
Yeah, well there you go.

Speaker 7 (18:06):
No, I don't want to spend a lot of money.
I mean, is it's from chop or something like that.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
It's cheaper.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
It's cheaper to put it on the back of a
tow truck and haul it in because uh, when it
when it blows out, it's going to uh obviously take
the plug out. It's going to ruin the coil, it's
going to rip off the connector for the coil, and
then it might, depending on how long it does, it
may rip off a connector for an injector, and.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Well then you've got raw gas coming out of that cylinder.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah, we never had to pull an injector out and
rip that out, but we've had to pull injector connectors off.
So it's it's just easier to do it. And uh,
the problem is is that, you know, the more damage
is done to that, you have to just do a
one time sert that you put in there. It's it's
a new it's uh, it's not a HeLa coil. It's

(18:59):
a different type of heal of coil.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
It's kind of like a rivnut. Okay what a riv
nut is?

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, and kind of a if you damage it too much,
then you've got to put an over you got to
put a double oversize in it, and you just you're
gonna run out of material. So we got an oversize
and we got a double oversize because of that kind
of thing. So just yeah, to it. It's it's easier.

Speaker 7 (19:24):
Okay, Yeah, Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I
just you know, just kind of cure second of all,
if if if if that does ever happen. Is there
any savings to say, you know, just go ahead and
do all ten. Am I going to save any money
by just say going do all ten? Or Is that
going to be astronomically expensive?

Speaker 13 (19:43):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (19:44):
I mean, it's not going to be cheap. We've done
it both ways. We've done individual ones that have gotten
uh towed in and we've done it and brought them
back to life, and that's all the more they wanted
to do. And then we've had a couple of customers
that said, you know, uh, usually it's on their second one.
The first one they'll say, let's just fix that. When
the second one goes, they say, do it all. And

(20:05):
when you do it all, we've not. Really, I've not
had one come back after we've done that and done
them all, and you probably got less time in it
involved in everything else and instead of doing it ten times.
Depends on how long you canpent on keeping this truck.
You know, if it's always on the edge of going away,
then do one at a time. If it's something you're
going to keep in haul because it hauls the camper,

(20:27):
does whatever, then it makes more sense to do it.
The engine's rock solid, it's just the design on that
was stupid.

Speaker 14 (20:35):
Yeah, I mean the.

Speaker 7 (20:36):
Truck is rock solid, you know, the transmission every I
mean yeah, it's been in the family since noon. It's
seemed good service as far as oil transmission, you know, fluids,
all that other stuff. Really good service the whole time.
So it's an excellent, excellent running truck, ye know it
the oil, I mean, it's a really nice truck.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
It's what you get when you put ten to twelve
threads on a spark plug and you only put four
threads in the cylinder head. Uh.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
That was right around the time like Ford went from
spark plugs that wouldn't stay in the engine the spark
plugs that wouldn't come out of the engine. Yes, we
have tools for both, yes, yes, and now they have
fixed all that problem. It took him a number of years,
but it's there. There was really no need to change.
There just wasn't.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
I don't know. Somebody had to justify their job at
for it, is my opinion. So that's that's it. Jim,
appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (21:30):
Hey, you know, if you guys didn't getting a bunch
of slow time down at your shop and you're willing
to do stuff for half price, shoor whatever, let me
know and I'll bring it in.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
And I appreciate that. Give me the first God call.

Speaker 10 (21:43):
I appreciate you.

Speaker 12 (21:44):
Bet.

Speaker 7 (21:45):
I love your show.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah, thanks, I appreciate calling. All right, We're gonna head
over to Andy and he's got a sixteen Silverado. Andy,
what's up today?

Speaker 15 (21:54):
Hi, guys, I love the show. Uh, it's kind of
a weird problem. They my trailer trailer brake system light
comes on. But I've never hauled anything with the truck
or anything like that. But it only happens when it
gets to like ninety five one hundred degrees and I

(22:17):
cannot turn it off when I'm driving. It says reset reset.
I keep hitting the button. It just beat beat, beat, beat,
beat beep. And the only way I've figured out if
I actually pull over, shut off the truck, turn it
back on, then it'll reset itself and I can get
home without listening to the noise. But I don't understand

(22:41):
that it never happened. I've had the truck for like
eight years, and this year it's been over one hundred
how many times, you know, with the amidity and everything
like that. Right, I I checked the little doors. I
think maybe something got stuck in the door, moisture got
in there, or the harness connects. I can't rely seated
in the wires. They're up underneath the spare tire. Uh.

(23:04):
It's just weird. It drive me nuts every time it
gets hot. It will not shut off.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
So is this a factory trailer break or an.

Speaker 15 (23:12):
Aftermarket I believe it's factory Okay, I bought the truck
US so I honestly.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
So you're getting the message on the dash.

Speaker 10 (23:21):
It says, uh.

Speaker 15 (23:24):
Uh service Okay, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
It's factory break.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
Yeah, So there's a code in there somewhere, and it's
going to have to be scanned to figure out where
we're going in this system because the system is literally
from the brake pedal to the back. Yeah, and there's components,
modules everything in between there.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
So temperature related tells me a connection is probably a
problem generally.

Speaker 15 (23:50):
Nothing to do with the regular breaks. I mean on
a vehicle. It's just the if I was hauling a trailer, correct.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Right, it's just got a connector. Like you said above,
that spare tire, all the salt and water gets down
on the road that you could have a what we
call a green connector. And when those green connectors start
to get hot.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
And they got cold, wet, anything affects them.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yep, and then that goes from a decent connection to
the hot and cold. Well, we'll make a bad connection
on your light comes So Kyle is yeah, Kyle's right.
You need to start both checking the scan the codes
and not just at a normal part store because they're
going to give you po codes. These are body codes,
communication codes. These are just deep into the out of

(24:35):
these twenty five modules in this truck. You need to
go through them all and figure out what they are.

Speaker 15 (24:40):
I mean, is there any way to just turn it?
I don't think I'll have a haul a trailer. Is
there any way to just can I pull a views
out and so it doesn't happen again?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Uh don't.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
I'm mean to doubt it's going to be that easy.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Yeah, So it's I don't know, we don't usually we
don't do that usually or but it's.

Speaker 10 (25:01):
Kind of like so that just a thought.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
So that goes through an instrument panel cluster. Okay, So
the instrument panel cluster is another module slash computer. So
it sends a signal there that's what kicking the light on.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
So if you take that module out of the network,
you're going to have a bunch more problems because they
all have to take Yeah.

Speaker 15 (25:22):
I won't consider that then no, no, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
Yep it get your codes red and that gets you
in the ballpark, and then the diagnostics. The diagnosis is
going to get you down to what base you're on.

Speaker 15 (25:34):
Do I need to take it in when it's hot?
I mean, because it only happens when it's really hot,
or would the code show up either way?

Speaker 4 (25:43):
Yeah? Either way is possible. If they're hard codes. I mean,
it's going to store it in history, being in twenty sixteen,
I would just take it in, drop it off with them,
tell them your issue, here's our problem. Drive it. We
can get this to happen by doing this, this and that,
and that'll get him on the right track.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Yeah. First, see if that's there. If the code is there,
then great. If not, then yes, go back on a
hot day when it's there and so they can see it.

Speaker 7 (26:12):

Speaker 3 (30:26):
We are back in the mister mechanics show full bank
of calls all all hour, So we're gonna shoot back
in try to answer as me as we can. Don's
gone ninety seven, Honda Core, Don, what's up today? Don?
You're there on Don?

Speaker 6 (30:40):
Don?

Speaker 3 (30:41):
All right, we're moving on, Wally, You're up ninety seven
s ten.

Speaker 9 (30:44):
It's been in the garage for a few months. I
pulled it out week or so going the RPM step
in park, step on, the RPM goes up and without
moving your foot off the triantle, RPM drops back, and
then it goes up and then back and up and back.

(31:06):
And my friend said, it's got a frontle positioning sensor
on there. What do you think?

Speaker 4 (31:12):
So you're just holding your foot on the gas and
it's surging. Yeah, And you said it's been sitting for
how long?

Speaker 9 (31:19):
Oh? Probably last fall. I didn't run it last year,
and they've.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Been in the garage with a.

Speaker 9 (31:26):
Little battery, tend to run it all the months.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Sure, yes, well it could be. I mean that's my
first thought because if you're surging off idol, I mean
we're not talking vacuum related. The only thing that can
lean an engine out is fuel when you're off the throttle.
So how much gas does it have in it?

Speaker 9 (31:46):
It's got deb there, bull tank.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
Okay, how long have you let it run?

Speaker 9 (31:52):
Huh?

Speaker 4 (31:52):
How long is it? Have you let it run?

Speaker 9 (31:55):
Or I let to let it warm up till it
comes up the temperature and then I step on the
gas and surge as it goes up and comes back
all by itself. Well, and uh, I thought maybe you
would bring itself out of it, but it don't.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Yeah, I'd get a fuel sample before I went too
far with it, because if you don't have a check
engine light on, there's no point looking at a throttle
position sensor or replacing it.

Speaker 9 (32:21):
It's just going to be no engine night comes on
it just okay, God of freaking me out, I'm gone
afraid to drive it.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Yeah, take a fuel sample of it. See what the
gas looks like, See what it smells like.

Speaker 9 (32:33):
It smells you think it could be your gas could
be or or what.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Well, you got to start there first, and then you
know the other thing is uh, you know maybe in
six months or a year, that's.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
It's just lost its idle memory.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Idle memory which means you could disconnect the negative and
positive cable, hold those together there and let it kind
of relearn and then put it back together and see
what it does.

Speaker 9 (33:05):
Wait, the battery cables yep, or just take one, take
them both off and yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, well were they were? They off?

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Alled?

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Was a battery dead when you went to get it
or was it?

Speaker 9 (33:19):
Huh?

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Just disconnect the battery yep.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Just connect the table, leave it off for about ten
to fifteen minutes.

Speaker 9 (33:29):
Both cables, yes, yep, touch them together you said you can.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
But if you just take if you just take the
cables off and just let them sit, they'll be fine.

Speaker 9 (33:40):
Oh all right, yeah, and the computer reset itself possibly yep.
Well I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
Sure, Hey, thank.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
You, you bet appreciate the call. Wally. All right, we're
gonna head back to Don Don ninety seven Honda A Cord.

Speaker 10 (33:59):
Yes, I have an issue. Somebody took off with my
aluminum factory aluminum rims for the Honda Car Special Edition.
And what will be the best place to replace them?

Speaker 9 (34:09):
With?

Speaker 10 (34:09):
Salvage yard or we have any idea?

Speaker 3 (34:12):
You know, we were just talking about this earlier.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
You might try eBay.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
eBay, as you know a lot of stuff was sold
on eBay and then they kind of went down for
many years. But you can find a lot of good
obsolete stuff on eBay. And and we were just going
to talk about this with the the guy in the
Tahoe that needed an ignition module. Go look on eBay,
uh for the for the Tahoe guy, because see you

(34:37):
can find people are parting that stuff apart and they're
putting it on to eBay. So that'd be that, or
there's one other place to that we use a lot
is called car dash parts dot Com. Every not every,
but most salvage yards in the country will put that
on there and you can find the wheels and then

(34:58):
you can take them here to a local place. Once
you get the wheels and they'll refurbish them for you.
You're gonna spend some money to do it, but they'll
look beautiful.

Speaker 7 (35:07):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (35:07):
What what was the name of the product place?

Speaker 4 (35:11):
Car part dot Com, car dash Parts. I gotta put
the dash in there, otherwise it'll take you to like
a rock auto kind of stuff.

Speaker 3 (35:19):

around the country.

Speaker 10 (35:24):
Car dot parts dot Com. Okay, what would be uh?
Okay you Facebook marketplace? Would that be good?

Speaker 3 (35:35):
No?

Speaker 4 (35:36):
No, I mean, if you can find Honda Wheels, that's fine.
I mean there's gonna be a lot of universals.
